Hi Del,
I cant help about B'ham. You wont be able to use the T vouchers in A. I assume they wont scan as they are different b/c's, plus it does say T on them and you are likely to get trouted. Keep your head down, don't get on their list already!:cool: Slowly slowly catchy monkey (whose phrase is that?)

cant remember who on here uses it but you may find this interesting.

It's actually 'Slowly, slowly catchee monkey.' It comes from the days of British colonialism when many far eastern countries were under British rule. Soldiers posted there used to try to catch monkeys to keep as pets and despite all their efforts were not very successful. Many natives spoke 'Pidgin English' which was a simplified form of English. They showed the soldiers how to do it by demonstrating a simple but effective method. This was to place a basket containing fruit in a clearing in the jungle where the monkeys lived. The basket would have a narrow opening and be tied to the ground. Monkeys would come along and stick their arms inside the basket to get at the fruit. The opening was just wide enough to allow for this but as the fruit was grasped the fist was too big to get out of the basket. The monkeys were so greedy that even when soldiers approached they would not release the fruit and thus be easily caught. Naturally this took patience on the part of the captor who would have to wait quietly until the monkey was snared. Thus the slow approach proved to be more effective hence the phrase.

I think you need to find out what it will be used for first and start from that. Most compact cameras now have video functions, but mine will only shoot for 20 mins then you have to restart. It would make things simpler if it needed to be waterproof or shockproof.
